Villas em Beijing, China

Great apartment. Everything you need is there already, like soap, toothbrush, toilet paper etc, but there is also everything you need to do some simple cooking- very useful! The location was perfect, a 10 minute walk to taxi drop off (the whole town is pedestrianised) and about 5 minutes to Simatai Great Wall ticket entrance and the entrance to Gubei water town attraction. Good restaurants about 5 minutes away too and they are cheap. The apartment is cosy and there are 3 balconies to choose from if you want to relax in the sun! This would also be a very safe and comfortable place to stay with young children. I was very happy that the host also provided a lot of drinking water. It's useful to know that the apartment is inside a bigger apartment complex, just enter through the first gate as you approach from the town and maybe add the host on WeChat before you arrive so you can communicate easily. There are lots of small shops selling food and drinks nearby. The back balcony has a dreamy view of the Great Wall. Enjoy!

This apartment unit located just outside the water town. The room I got was on the 7th floor so the balcony is overlooking the Gubei water town and simatai great wall. The view at night was magnificent. The unit is a duplex. The upstairs is bigger than the downstairs. There were 2 bed rooms. The beds were comfortable and cozy. The shower was strong and there was also a washing machine inside for guests to use. Downstairs there was a small kitchen with microwave. There were some convenience stores around too.

I absolutely have to give this guesthouse a glowing review! The ambiance is lovely, and the decor is exquisite. The rooms were impeccably clean, with thoughtful touches evident in every detail. The host was incredibly warm, attentive, and kind, making us feel truly at home. The guesthouse is conveniently located very close to the entrance of Gubei Water Town, just a five-minute walk away. I'll definitely choose this place again next time. Highly recommended! It's also great for longer stays, as the kitchen is fully equipped and there's even a brand-new water dispenser.

Oh dear, I came with high expectations to experience your establishment's ”Japanese Garden,” and what an eye-opener it was! The ”utterly faithful” recreation is simply astonishing – the serene dry landscape and exquisite stone lanterns pictured in the photos were, in reality, just a few weathered, broken chairs standing forlornly, embodying a profound ”wabi-sabi” aesthetic! Ah, this minimalist beauty, I finally understand; it's simply that we common folk lack the refined taste to appreciate it. The bathroom experience was even more ”Zen-like”! The showerhead delivered water in a mere trickle, and the hot water was exceedingly tardy, requiring guests to wait patiently with a devout heart. Craving a truly refreshing shower? Don't rush; this is the owner's meticulously designed ”slow living” segment, allowing you to contemplate life amidst the sound of dripping water. As for bottled mineral water? Oh, for a ”high-end” establishment like yours, advocating for environmental protection, bringing your own reusable water bottle is clearly the correct approach! Mosquitoes? Those are merely proof of the garden's ecological friendliness, a complimentary ”natural spa” – why spoil the fun by mentioning them? The most ”splendid” part, however, was browsing the owner's replies! Wow! What a master of debate, churning out witty remarks one after another! Their attitude towards negative reviews was even tougher than our ”wabi-sabi” chairs! After reading the owner's eloquent responses, I instantly realized that low water pressure in the shower was no longer an issue, as the ”high-pressure” impact on one's psyche is far greater! This service attitude truly makes one feel ”at home” – specifically, making you eager to rush back home. The 300+ price tag was unremarkable, so I'll give it a 3-star rating, just to make a point.

Live in a very comfortable homestay! Last time I lived in Jingxinju, there was a restaurant downstairs, and it was very convenient to eat. This time, I brought the elderly to the Osmanthus building, which has a wide view and is very quiet at night!

- The location is excellent. It is just round the corner from Gubei Water Town. A two minute walk to the entrance hall. - The service was good. The staff added us on WeChat and were very quick to respond to messages and queries. One stand out moment for us was when our food was 2 hours late from a local restaurant. I was struggling to communicate with the restaurant because my Chinese is not very good. Staff reached out on our behalf and sorted the issue for us. - Cleanliness was OK. The sheets on the bed felt lovely and clean, but the apartment was not spotless. The shower had some black mould, and the floor in the kitchen felt sticky. - The apartment itself had some pros. My son absolutely loved all the toys and the slides. It made his experience very enjoyable. - Plenty of towels, toiletries provided. However - The shower leaked constantly. Every time we used the shower the bathroom would become flooded - which was a slipping hazard for my son. - The curtains are very thin. Every morning we were woken up to a bright light streaming through the windows. This meant that my son’s sleep was not great. We did contact the staff about this. They used sellotape to stick up some bedsheets on the windows, but this fell down within minutes! We appreciate the efforts though. - We would have felt better if there was a stair gate. As this is an apartment aimed at families, a stair gate would be good for safety. - Limited cutlery is provided. We were given some disposable chopsticks. However very few cooking utensils / no children’s cutlery. Bring your own if you want to cook. :) - There was only once choice of breakfast - which was not to our personal taste. Would be good if 2 or three options were provided. There is a lovely bakery around the corner and we enjoyed buying our breakfast from there for the remainder of the trip.

The room is quite convenient if you are visiting the Gubei Water Town. It is located inside a condo at just 3 min on foot. Clean and with all you need for a couple of days: stove, microwave, fridge & sink. Customer support is also super responsive. Bear in mind that if you leave the water town, you will not be able to get inside again, so my 5cents here: leave your belongings for free at water town Gubei ancient city and pick them up once you are done with your visit. I strongly recommend taking the boat minutes before the sunset and enjoy the city during the night since there are many shows (fountain, square,..)

The room is spacious, a duplex with two floors. There's a minibus shuttle service to and from the hotel. The service is excellent; they respond promptly and resolve any needs quickly. It's great value for money. Takeout is delivered directly to your door. A fantastic stay experience; highly recommended. (Authorized review)

The room is clean and the location is good. It is right at the entrance of the water town and overlooks the night view of the water town.

The boss is very enthusiastic. After traveling for many days, I felt very close to hearing his Beijing accent. Because we checked in late, he helped us put the hot spring water in advance and told us where to buy dinner and where to park. In short, he thought of everything for us. The room is warmly decorated and the children like it very much. There is a small courtyard and a terrace. At night, the drone show, the night view of the Great Wall, and the night view of the ancient town are all under your sight. In short, it is very worthwhile!
